And there's been reports of an American citizen killed in Lebanon. - Can you give us any. - We have seen those reports. It's our understanding that it was a legal, permanent resident, not an American citizen. But we obviously offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their loss. [00:00:15] On Tuesday of this week, an American man by the name of Hajj Kamal Ahmed Jawad, was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon. His family confirmed that he is not simply a US resident. [00:00:31] He was a United States citizen, but as you just heard from the State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, he alleges that he was actually just a legal permanent resident. Now, the Biden administration is also refusing to acknowledge the fact that Jawad was killed by the IDF, which the US, [00:00:50] of course rewards with endless weaponry, which is then in some cases used to carry out airstrikes that kill Americans. And a white House spokesperson issued the following statement about Jawad's death. Quote. We are deeply saddened by the death of Kamal Ahmed. Jawad and our hearts go out to his family and friends. [00:01:08] His does it. His death is a tragedy, as are the deaths of many civilians in Lebanon. Now note that we. - Financed, by the. - Way. Exactly, and note the deliberate omission of the fact that we're not look, any civilian who gets killed is an injustice. [00:01:25] Okay, but what's particularly perverse and disgusting is when our taxpayer money goes toward military weaponry for a country that uses it in airstrikes that kill all these civilians, including, in some cases, Americans, it is disgusting. [00:01:42] And that omission of what his status is as a United States citizen, I don't think was on accident. I think it was very much on purpose. Yeah. So, well, first of all, is he really fully American citizen? He's not even Israeli. So we'll get to how disparate the treatment is for a US citizens [00:02:00] that are Israeli versus ones that are Lebanese or Arab or Muslim. We have more details on that coming up. For now, I relate to this guy in a couple of different ways. So I was a legal resident and had a green card before I became a citizen, right? That's usually how the process works. [00:02:15] So what I was always afraid of when I had a green card was exactly what that US spokesperson just said. It's just a legal resident. That's I if you've never gone through that, of course, there's no way you would know that. But for everyone who's not a full US citizen, [00:02:30] you feel like, you know the US government might or might not care about you. So if you were like holed up in a different country, would they come to rescue you? Probably not. Right. But that's why when I became a US citizen and you should go to one of those events, [00:02:45] it is the people in that room are so proud that they became Americans. And I felt like, hey, I'm going to get full equality here. And I really believe that until recently. But now I realize, no, no, no, first of all, you're not really 100% citizen [00:03:01] since you weren't born here, you're not allowed to run for president. We don't really trust you. We don't trust you. We think you might be a foreign agent or something. We won't let you run. Even though everyone else in the country has 14th amendment right to equal process and due liberty, due process and equality. You don't. Right. [00:03:17] And now you see that the US spokesperson with your own eyes. I mean he's wrong. The guy was a US citizen. But if he wasn't he's like yeah but who cares about you, right? I know. And then you become a citizen and he actually is a citizen. And are they doing anything to get them out of Lebanon? [00:03:33] Are they panicking like they did with Israel, which again, we're going to tell you about in a sec. No, of course not. Because you're a muslim US citizen. Your life is worth less to the American government. Well, is that written in law anywhere in the Constitution? No. That one's got nothing to do with the Constitution. [00:03:48] Nothing with the law. It's just that Muslim Americans don't donate as much to American politicians as people who support Israel. So that's why our lives are worth less because we don't give as much money and bribes to American politicians. [00:04:04] I actually think it's much worse than that. Okay. I think that it doesn't even matter what kind of American you are, what your, you know, cultural background is. The United States government does not care about you. [00:04:19] And I'm saying this about a government that's currently being led by a Democrat. They don't care about you. Okay. If Israel does airstrikes that take out Americans, regardless of what their religion or faith is or what their cultural background is, they don't care. They just don't care. I mean, think about it. [00:04:36] We're risking the lives of tens of thousands of American troops right now who are stationed in the Middle East. We sent additional troops, an additional I don't even know. They're being very opaque about the amount of additional troops they sent to the Middle East, but those are all people who are there specifically [00:04:53] to defend a nuclear power that's carrying out airstrikes and aerial bombardments of multiple sovereign countries. Yeah. I mean, first of all, their military has better capacity than the entire Middle East combined. Then they have nukes, then they have a defense shield that seems impenetrable. [00:05:11] One Hezbollah rocket has landed with casualties after October 7th, which they seem to have. Well, let's put it this way. Israeli intelligence clearly knew about it. We've now seen Israeli intelligence, amazing capabilities. And golly gee, October 7th just happened to happen so that we can invade [00:05:30] five countries and take more land. Golly gee. But U.S. Troops, you go die for us over there. Okay. Why? Why? Because the citizens are expendable. The donors are the most valuable, cherished thing in the whole wide world. [00:05:45] So just. I know it's ugly, and I. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's us politicians. It's not really a democracy. Those donors are the oligarchs that rule us all. And then they send out mainstream media to lie to you and create a mirage of equality [00:06:01] when no such equality exists. Jawad's family wrote a statement saying that in his last days, he chose to stay near the main hospital of Nabatieh to help the elderly, disabled, injured and those who simply couldn't financially afford to flee. [00:06:18] He served as their guardian, provided them with food, mattresses and other comforts, and anonymously paid off their debts. Now he was a resident of Dearborn, Michigan, which you know is an American city. [00:06:33] In case the Biden administration needs a reminder of that an American city that Democrats are now rapidly losing support in for obvious reasons. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib's office has stated that they have been in touch with his family. Rashida Tlaib, one of the very few Democrats who's [00:06:50] actually on the right side of this issue. Meanwhile, the number of casualties in Lebanon grows higher and higher. More than 1000 people, roughly a quarter of them women and children, have been killed by Israeli attacks on Lebanon since mid-September in less than a month. [00:07:09] And the United States continues to disregard American citizens who are currently in Lebanon, not just Jawad, but as I had shared with you all earlier this week, it appears that the US isn't really concerned about evacuating Americans who are currently in Lebanon. [00:07:24] Yashar Ali tweets that The New York Times reports that there were no U.S. Officials, by the way, at the funeral of, Ansar II, the US citizen who was killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank last week. [00:07:41] We I mean, they can't even be bothered to send someone that represents the Biden administration. Anyone, you know, just for just for appearances to go to that funeral and show a little bit of compassion for what she and her family have gone through as a [00:08:01] result of the war that we are supporting. We are funding and enabling, by the way, regardless of how many civilians get killed, regardless of how many Americans get killed, regardless of how much it destroys our own country, it destroys Israel's own country. It doesn't matter. We're just going to keep funneling the weapons and enabling one [00:08:17] of the most belligerent governments I have seen in a long time. Go ahead. Yeah. So first of all, I appreciate the Biden administration's honesty. They don't care about her. And so they made that obvious by not showing up to the funeral. So they're like, yeah, she's an American, but she's a Turkish American. [00:08:35] And if we go, people might write a story about it. And we don't want to remind people that Israel assassinated her sniper, hit her from hundreds of yards away after a protest was done with a kill shot. But my guess is they'll say, well, she's a human shield. [00:08:53] Was by a tree. Was trying to protect the tree was using her as a human shield. There was a. That's why we had to assassinate her. I mean, it was just collateral damage. We were just trying to take some bark off that Palestinian tree. Yeah, I mean, there was a protest earlier where people were allegedly throwing rocks. [00:09:08] So obviously you got to bring in the snipers. Yeah. And, you know, they assassinated an American journalist there as well. But again, Muslim American, one of the most famous journalists in the Middle East. But do American lives really count if they're not Israeli lives? [00:09:26] Are they allowed to do airstrikes on American soil? Like, that is a legitimate question. I'm seriously and sincerely asking that question. Can Netanyahu do airstrikes on American soil? Alleged that there are Hamas militants. There's a command center. There's a command center. Give them ideas, and I swear to God, don't. [00:09:44] Because if Israel started killing people inside America, do you think their funding would be cut? You know what the answer to that is? No. There's no chance it would be cut. They have so much power here that there's nothing they could do. [00:10:01] They literally, literally nothing they could do that that would get their funding cut. I mean, later in the show, we're going to show you several different articles Politico, Washington Post, etc., where they do these giant exposés of how Biden has become impotent, etc., against Israel. And never is it ever suggested that maybe Biden could have protected [00:10:19] American interests if he threatened to cut their funding because all of Washington, every reporter and almost every politician thinks, well, we must do what Israel says. That's not even an option to say no. So no matter they kill American citizens, who cares? [00:10:35] They assassinate an American journalist. Who cares? We're not even going to show up to the American that they killed. Who? Oh, you're an American who's stuck in Lebanon. Will help you through expedia.com. Maybe find a commercial flight. I'm not kidding. The Expedia part I made up. But, you know, go ahead and tell them. [00:10:52] So earlier this week on Monday, specifically the State Department issued a statement because people were asking, hey, is the you know, is the government going to help evacuate these American citizens who are currently in Lebanon? Mind you, as people are asking this, you have China, you know, evacuating, paying [00:11:11] for and evacuating their own citizens out of Lebanon, getting them out of there. The U.S. Is like, yeah, you know, there's commercial flights. We're not really dealing with this at this time. You know, deal with it yourself. Pay for it yourself. You know, we've got to save every nickel, every dollar for weaponry for Israel [00:11:29] so they can keep carrying out these airstrikes. While U.S. Marine veteran by the name of Jod Haider Haider was recently featured in Zeteo. And basically, he said he was trapped in Lebanon. He wanted to get out. He was having difficulty getting out. And because his story got some attention. [00:11:48] The U.S. State Department decided, okay, fine, we'll we'll fly you out of Lebanon. - Are we not merciful? - But that one guy. That one guy. Because he was powerful enough to get media attention. But the rest of you remember, guys, Travelocity is still in business. I don't even know if they are. And so good luck to you. [00:12:04] We will not pay for your flights out, but we will pay for the bombs that might kill you and your family. And what do they do after October 7th with Americans that were in Israel? Not only did we pay for their flights, we didn't. We sent planes and ships to go get them, [00:12:24] which is infinitely more expensive. That is incredibly expensive. But to be fair, they were precious Israeli lives. Not like totally cheap, useless, worthless Muslim American lives or Christian American lives that are Arabs or some other country like that. [00:12:42] That doesn't even donate sufficiently to American politicians who could possibly care about American citizens that haven't even bribed Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or Donald Trump? We have victims of the Camp Fire in California from 2018 [00:12:58] who are still homeless. We have victims of the fires in Maui who are still homeless. We have the most recent victims of a natural disaster in North Carolina. North Carolina, of course, was hit the hardest by Hurricane Helene. What kind of help are they going to get? [00:13:13] I mean, if recent history is any indication, they're not going to get much help at all. Yeah. And look, guys. I just I can't drink like, I am so utterly disgusted by our government. Like I'm at a loss for words. It is much worse than even I knew. [00:13:32] Okay. The disregard for our lives, for our well-being. They just expect us to be an ATM for their war machine. That is it. Yeah, Wolf. That wolf-pac.com. Why do I say that? I started a group to get money out of politics a dozen years ago. [00:13:49] Why? Because I came to the conclusion, and I told you guys back then, and I've been telling you ever since. Money in politics is everything. It's not. Oh, that's an important issue. Or. Oh, that's the number one issue. No, that's the only issue. Because every other issue is decided by who gives more money. [00:14:06] And this is like a spectacular example of it because there's American lives on the line. And they're saying as long as you didn't donate enough to our politicians. American citizens are worthless. But the people who support Israel have donated hundreds of millions [00:14:21] of dollars to politicians, so their lives are worth everything. Everything. Those are the things that are that must be protected at all costs. Again, I give the case of health care. 68,000 Americans die every year because they don't have health insurance. And the American government goes, who cares about those stupid Americans? [00:14:39] Did they give me money? No. Did the health care insurance companies that rob you blind give me money? Yeah, they gave me billions of dollars. So you go ahead and die because I'm taking donor money, and that's. And guys, look, if you're a Republican or a Democrat, your party does that. [00:14:55] Yep. So does the other party. But don't. You're utterly deluded if you think the other party is evil. And my side is angels when they take the money. They don't care about the money at all. They care about me. That's not remotely true. It's never been true. [00:15:11] These people, the politicians in this country, are the worst people in the whole country. They're not the best of us. They're the absolute bottom of the barrel. Worst of us. I look at this point, I mean, we're not going to get money [00:15:27] out of politics anytime soon, okay? I know that you're very focused on that, but it's a difficult thing to accomplish. There needs to be another answer in the short term. And I don't know if it's the formation of a a group that doesn't represent [00:15:42] any particular country, but serves to just counteract some of the damage done by AIPAC. There's got to be something. No, look, there's only two solutions, and they're very, very difficult and involve a lot of pain. And there is no short term answer at all. [00:15:59] One, the Arab countries can start doing what Israel is doing, which is just find a way to funnel money to American citizens that are from their country originally or their lineage or their family is and just say, hey, I got a contract in Lebanon and the Lebanese government [00:16:17] gave me $1 billion for that contract. I'm now going to spend 200 million of it bribing American politicians. I mean, hey, exercising my freedom of speech. Exactly right. So I don't mean to do a how to manual, but that's that AIPAC. It doesn't have to come from Israel. [00:16:33] It's people who support Israel that are they are American citizens. Right? So like but they get to do it. Other American citizens get to do it. I don't know how people get their money. I don't know how the folks who donate to AIPAC got their money. And I don't want to know. Right. And that's not my business. I, you know, so same thing for Lebanese or Saudis or whoever it is, [00:16:52] because there's an open auction. So now, if you're not bidding to save the lives of your particular ethnicity, the American government will kill that ethnicity for the ethnicity that just that. - Does just bribe. - Them, that bribe them more, right. So soon? Look, it doesn't. I don't have to. [00:17:07] This is obvious to the other governments. They're beginning to figure this out. And that's why the Azerbaijan, Turkey, Egypt, bribing local government officials a little bit here and there, they're beginning to understand. Oh, it's an auction in America. Let's just go buy them. They're just doing it illegally. [00:17:23] Yeah, that's illegal because they're dumb. The UAE and Saudis are more sophisticated. They have bought the think tanks. They bought a lot of different things, different ways to influence. They gave Donald Trump's son in law $2 billion after goodies that he delivered, etc. [00:17:39] They give the money to the think tanks and the think tanks. Scholars tell you how great the UAE and Saudi Arabia is. They bought Washington through that method, and eventually they'll figure out the other part, too. And they're in the middle of figuring it out. And then, by the way, people will be outraged. How can you believe? Just name a random country, right? [00:17:56] Kazakhstan is now we're sending 20 billion, 200 billion to Kazakhstan. Yeah, I can believe that in a second. All they got to do is put a couple of hundred million dollars into American, elections and they'll get billions, maybe even trillions out. So. So, number one, that's one way to end Israel's dominance is to out bribe them. [00:18:17] Okay. I'm giving you the most real advice there is in the world. Okay. - Maybe it's time. - For you to form a new super PAC. No, I don't want any part of that. I hate it, I hate it. I mean, I hate the formation of the super PACs, but this one I can maybe get behind. Okay. And then the last possibility is that Israel does start the war with Iran, [00:18:34] and it becomes a giant war. Right now they're bombing Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, they've done assassinations. And in Iran, and obviously they've leveled the occupied territories so that war can get large enough and that we could spend trillions. [00:18:50] And then if you say trillions, come on, Jake. We spent over 2 trillion in Iraq. Iran's four times the size of Iraq. So after America has lost however many thousands of lives of our service members. ET cetera. And we've lost a couple of trillion dollars. My guess is the left wing has never mattered. [00:19:07] Guys, we just don't have enough money in power. They're never, ever going to listen to us. But at some point, the right wing is going to get mad. And when the right wing gets mad, then Israel is going to have a trouble for the first time in its history here in America. And the right wing continues to get angrier and angrier about all [00:19:26] the money we're shoveling to them instead of taking care of our own citizens. So Israel and Netanyahu is playing with fire, but they don't realize it in their infinite arrogance. And if America pulled out and said, hey, good luck to you, Israel. Israel would be so outraged because they [00:19:42] feel a sense of entitlement you owe us in one of the stories we're about to get to, Netanyahu Who was furious. The Washington Post reported that Biden was slow walking some of the money to them and the weapons. [00:19:58] So we gave them $26 billion on top of the 4 billion we normally give. And he said, how dare you not get it to me as fast as I want? Okay, so that guy, if America cuts it off, will be bewildered. All of Israel will be bewildered. Doesn't America work for us? [00:20:16] Well, I mean, look, how dare they not give us money? But brothers and sisters, especially if you love Israel, that day is coming. And when it does, it's going to rock your world in terms of how you view the world and your entitlement. And so. And then, oh my God, the crying. [00:20:32] At that point will be spectacular. How how can you leave us and not pay for all of our bills? How we'll get while we get universal health care for our citizens that are so much more valuable than your citizens? How will we get paid family leave for our moms who just had that babies? [00:20:50] There's so much more valuable than your moms who don't have paid family leave. How dare you not fund all of our wars and and give us endless blankets? $300 billion? No, no. At some point, the entire country is going to get past mainstream media propaganda [00:21:06] that has told you that Israel is a beloved, special ally who has the. They literally call it a moral army as it devastates and obliterates the Middle East. And once that propaganda stops to work, then Israel is in a world of trouble.
